Preface


In this guide, I will be showing how to create a raid array, using the raid 0 configuration. This allows you to have maximize storage available, however it comes at the risk of data loss in case of hardware failure. 






It also has the benefit of having really pretty "blinkenlights" effect when the USB drives are being accessed. 



Prerequisites


ROCK64 board running Debian or Ubuntu, connected to the local network

Access to terminal, either locally or via SSH


At least 2 Flash drives (or hard drives)

Recommended: USB Hub, for ease of access.

I would imagine I would need some sort of converter board, idk if something like that exists, but I need an inexpensive display that's around 10". It doesn't have to be touch screen.

When I try to watch Netflix in Firefox (last version) I get an error message: 1003. Looking for fixes I see I must to allow content DRM at setup options of Firefox, but I can not find that option... What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Hello Guys,

I have the Rock64 with the last version of Android installed on it. All is good excepted that my CSR8510 BT dongle is not working. I tried everything i can see on my rasperry pie with no issue but not on Rock64. 
Anybody has any BT working on this platform on Android ? 

Thanks 

Seb

Does anyone know where I can source them?

Thanks, gene83

Does anybody know why Rock64 does not come back from sleep when pressing button on remote? It does only sometimes but success rate is 1:20.

Hello,

On the PINE64 board there is an infra header. With the diode installed, is it capable of turning ON the board, or just turning it OFF?
I am interested in the answer for the ROCK64 board too, which has an infra receiver installed already: can it be used to power ON the device, or only to shut it down with the remote?

Thank you

Hi all, I just received my rock64 and I want to use it mainly as a small NAS with OMV installed in the eMMc. Is it possible to have Android on the microSD and using the jumper to have both systems at the same time?

Thanks, greetings

I prefer to operate my rock64 via putty in order to use absolute minimal CPU and RAM, as I am going to run intensive dB I/O (R/W) on an external SSD via the USB3 port.
So I downloaded this and installed it:
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz

Due to not knowing the rock64 setup in detail, I did not manage to setup a static IP addr. so I erased and installed this:
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz
..in order to do the static IP setup via Edit connections on the IP4 tab - and then it worked.

I did try to install - on the stretch-minimal - mate-core mate-desktop-environment and xrdp and edited the startwm.sh with mate-session, then rebooted and tried windows RDC to connect - but that didn't succeed.
I then tried to connect a keyboard, mouse and monitor to the board but was not able to get a desktop with startx.

Am I wrong in thinking that the stretch-minimal version is "better" - and has a smaller CPU/RAM footprint than xenial-mate (full GUI) - even if I install a core version desktop to the stretch version?
Does this question make sense? 

If true - how do I make stretch work with static IP and accessing it via windows RDC?

Received 2 rock64 - and tinkering with the OS (Xenial-Mate) for a few days - looks good. 
One topic I can't crack is: where does the IP address go when I use the GUI Network-Manager? (rightclick the taskbar icon top-right and edit connections)
I enter (IP4 tab) a fixed IP, netmask, gateway and add 2 nameserver IPs.
When checking (after reboot) I can see (connection information) that all IPs I entered are correct.
Then I go /etc/resolv.conf and see the info there that this file will be overwritten.
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 - shows eth0 as dhcp

Where is the static IP going when I enter it on the IP4 tab?
I'm not a master linux nerd. I do know a great deal of linux - this one, though, is a bit too difficult to solve 

I do most work via putty, but was not able to setup the fixed IP there.
Also - why do I see the rock64 as an internal LAN IP on my router? The fixed IP, which I setup above, is an external IP.
